Hello All, your site is just wonderful. I have just discovered it and it has given me the words of many songs that I had long forgotten.

However, I am looking for the words of 'The Irish Jubilee' to be found on a Boys of the Lough Album. It starts ' A long time ago, boys, an Irish man named Docherty, Was elected to the Senate by a very large majority. He felt so elected that he sent for Denis Cassidy who owned a bar room of a very large capacity

Can anyone provide the rest please ?

Kind regards

Mick O Gorman ([e-mail])

Martin, are you a regular in the Cobblestones ? Thursdays are mostly when i go. Do we know one another ? I suppose a red rose in the button hole would do the trick. I am the one who sings The King of Rome, or 'The pigeon song' as it has become known. Talk to you,

Mick

In fact, I'm not there all that often - and usually on a Wednesday. When I saw the name, I was thinking of Mick O'Grady! No doubt we'll bump into each otehr one of the days.

Date, author, and composer of "Irish Jubilee" are given on a copy in the Levy sheet music collection (Mudcat's Links), box 141, #105. [But easier to find by putting 'Irish Jubilee' in bibliographic search box.]

I should have looked up the old threads first. Martin Rayn had date, author, and composer already.

My grandfather (1896-1964) used to recite (declaim) the Irish Jubilee in the 20's, when this was the sort of thing did for entertainment of an evening.
